If incandescent lightbulbs have a vacuum inside, why do they get so hot on the outside?
Why does the sun heat the Earth if space is a vacuum?

Need advice on Jellyfin setup
Linux would be best for reliability. Nothing's better than untimely windows updates. Also, less power usage. If you do decide to go with Linux you should look into running jellyfin via docker. Makes it super portable and best of all makes it simple to run other docker services from the same machine (nextcloud, trillium, pihole).
You can set up duckdns for free domain names (with a docker service for dynamic IP) and use nginx as a reverse proxy to all your services (if you plan on streaming outside your house)

What is an unpopular game/series you enjoy anyway?
SSX Tricky
My whole family has put in way too many hours, it's the only game where we actually are competitive against each other. Even my dad, who plays 0 other video games likes to play with us. I wouldn't say it's unpopular, just irrelevant today for most people, but not for us...
For a long time, we each had some PS2s to play, but not I emulate on the steam deck and and play even more than before. I've never had a game before where I actually try for high scores and practice.
My oldest brother is definitely the undisputed champion, but I can beat him when my favorite character, Moby, is maxed out, while his, Mac, is default level (which is the case and will remain the case on my steam deck)
Also, I still play Black Ops 1 zombies. I think they added more to the zombies in future games than I'm interested in. I own black ops 3 and hear that Shadows of Evil is amazing but every time I sit down to learn it, I just lose interest. Maybe there's extra friction because I'm usually playing solo.

Twice a car has come into the bike lane while I was in it and I swear my heart was in my throat. I was fine both times, but people get distracted and I'm all for barriers

What gaming books do you recommend?
If you enjoy science fiction, Ready Player One is super great. Do not judge it based off the movie. Quite different plots. Do skip Ready Player Two though.

I can't be the only one
I sometimes buy a physical book but end up pirating a copy to my ereader so I can read in bed easier and use the dyslexic font. Makes me a bit sad that the books don't get those creases in the spine from being read. Just looks like I own a bunch of books I didn't read

Risk of rain 2 if you're into FPV rouge likes (I love zombies and any wave shooter game really)
One of my favorite games of all time. The music is 10/10 epic. I'm trying to get 100% completion. Especially amazing with friends to just chill and slay. Mercenary is my go to character. Hard to learn, but rewarding.

Blitz deck recommendations for beginners?
Update: Played Fai vs Azalea last night. It was fun but on my (Fai's) first turn I had a huge chain and did a bunch of damage. Took a bit for my wife to figure out Azalea but the game ended up being close.
May try another game with these decks since we liked the themes, but my first impression was that Fai "forces" Azalea to block and without enough cards in hand Azalea might only get one arrow shot. Meanwhile Fai could block once or twice and still get in quite a few swings. I'm guessing blitz is more swingy since it's such a short game. I was wondering if Katsu vs Fai might be fun since they're both ninjas

Meta confirms it is blocking EU-based users from accessing Threads via VPN
How are they doing this though? They just black list any traffic coming from all VPNs they know about?
What if someone in the US were to use a VPN?
Or are they getting location data from the phone itself?

Thanks! I don't think I realized tempo during our game, but it's obvious now. The video was super helpful as well. Gonna pummel my wife tonight (just kidding, I'll share what I learned).
Really glad to hear that there isn't really a "bad match-up" problem, but you just need to learn how to play against different heroes. In MTG we've discovered quite a few bad match-up decks. We have the most fun when it feels like skill is involved, and no player pulls too far ahead. I've even made some decks with the intention of them playing against each other. So FaB not suffering as much from this excites me!!
This weekend I'll try and get a few more games in but my wife is studying for a big test so we'll see. I might try out Fai vs Katsu for the first game to teach my brother in law. I'm hoping having more, cheap attacks means less planning during blocking so maybe the game starts to click earlier. Then we'll hopefully move on to try other heroes.
The 8 decks I got from ebay didn't have all the equipments for each hero. Just a pool of generics, and a few specialized. But Azalea had a bow that I don't think the official precon has, this one lets you pay 1 to put a card from hand face up in your arsenal. I'm pretty excited to try and pick out some good equipment for each hero! Really wishing my LGS sold FaB so I didn't have to order online.

Wish we knew the stations sold cards! Glad to hear they do. That should be at the top of their web page on where to buy a tap card.
It was sweet how far we could get on public transportation alone. I hope they're able to keep investing in it

Visited L.A. This Weekend... Our experience with the public transportation
Found the pictures I took of the two similar bus stops in the same hub that tricked us up. We were looking for the "Metro Silver J 950" stop and thought we found it... Not sure how Bays work, but it seems like that has potential to clear up confusion and even make it easier to walk straight to your correct stop

Less traffic routes is usually my strategy as well. Annoying to lose the time, but so much less stressful having less cars around
